The leaves are pale.
The reeds in the wetlands by the river have taken off their yellow coats, and they are green again, and they can't help but be surging and surging again. The river breeze blew, and the sound of brushing startled a group of water birds.
Reed is a water-loving grass that adapts to water or wetlands and grows in soft soil, and is generally common in ditch shoals, river embankments, and swamp wetlands.
The reed stalks are erect, the plants are tall, vast, swaying in the wind, and wild and interesting. The reed has a well-developed root system, spreads quickly in the soil, and has strong vitality.
The reeds here are really good, and they have the advantage of the right time and place!
The reeds that grow in another place are probably more appropriately called "reed grass" - the reeds (grass) in the "ditch" (pit or depression left by digging the soil to pad the roadbed) under the railway embankment are not blessed.
What is the state of existence of these reeds (grasses)?
When I was working at a station called Daquan on the Lanxin Line, I saw that there were a lot of reeds (grasses) growing in the "ditch" dug by the roadbed when the railway was being built, some in clusters, some in patches, and in the small station work area without scenery, it undoubtedly became a small "park" for employees to take a walk off duty and stay.
I often stop here and notice this rare existence on the Gobi Desert.
The reeds (grass) that grow in the "pull ditch", pit ditch and dry ditch without water really do not have Youku of the same clan and clan on the side of the Yangtze River.
The reeds (grass) of the "ditch" next to the railway, due to the lack of water, the soil is hard, and there is no nutrient supply, the body is generally thin and weak, with thin stems, clusters, and trees, not in patches, and without vastness.
The Gobi Desert, the soil is dry and the ground is cracked, the saline-alkali sand, and the urine bubble can also stab a smoke. In such an environment, the reeds (grass) grow here, and they have to adapt to it, looking for the "know-how" of survival and life.
Slowly, I found that the reeds (grasses) in the "ditch" were crawling and growing against the ground.
It dawned on me that where the water is abundant and the soil is soft, the roots of the reeds spread deep into the soil. On the contrary, the roots of the reed (grass) that grow in the ditch walk on the ground, because the soil is dry and hard, and it cannot be pierced downward.
Again, every time its roots crawl, they dig tiny roots into the ground and into the soil, so that they can absorb the insignificant amount of water that is moistened by the melting of the snow in winter and the occasional drizzle, so as to sustain its life without drying out.
At the root of the roots, a thin stem grows upwards, and it grows leaves in summer and blooms in autumn, swaying freely in the wind. It is precisely by taking root and absorbing a small amount of dampness to replenish energy that it can stand up its malnourished, but still green and not very strong body.
Everything in the world has its own state of existence. It's the so-called survival of the fittest!
The growth environment of the roadbed "ditch" reed (grass) determines that it can not absorb water from only one place in its life, if it relies on a root to dig down, how can there be water supply, it must be a dead end. If you don't seek, don't explore, can you survive in the roasting of the Gobi Desert? Therefore, in its life, it is destined to keep exploring, constantly taking root, constantly absorbing, and constantly moving forward.
One day, I was standing in the reeds (grass) of the "ditch" and had a whim. What will these reeds look like if they go to the "ditch" to the water town and the country, or to a place with abundant rain? The likely result is that water and nutrition are gone, but they may lose their most awe-inspiring personality – tenacity and tenacity, exploration and progress!
Sleeping on the plank bed, I pondered that many employees from the "mainland" in the railway station work area are not reeds (grass)! Many railway people were not born and raised in the Gobi at the beginning, they all came from the cities and villages, and they all came from places suitable for the growth of reeds. Now it has taken root in the Gobi Desert, guarding the side of the small station, and has become a cluster of ......
Aren't thousands of small station railway people just the clumps of reeds (grass) in the "ditch"!
Remorse? The reeds (grass) in the "ditch" have already given the answer!
The snow water in the Tianshan Mountains is also very sweet, there are clear springs in the Gobi Desert, and there is moisturizing soil in the "wind reservoir" in the wind area.
On both sides of the Xinjiang railway line, there are countless people like reeds (grass), who are hard, tenacious, and tenacious to stick to and adapt. And year after year!
As a result, the small station work area has a little warmth.
